    Hi all

    I am developing on a beaglebone black and want to include a rotary
    knob to Control cursors on my display in user space etc.

    The selected quadrature encoder is here :

    I need to convert the pulses into a direction and count up or down
    accordingly so I plan on using an external low cost micro
    controller to count up or down and send the value out onto the bus.

Beaglebone has a hardware quadrature decoder called eQEP. http://beagleboard.org/project/eqep_rotary_encoder.

There is also a gpio quadrature encoder driver in the input subsystem of the mainline linux kernel. If you don't want to spend time on software, this may be the way to go.
